Elle MacPherson Poses Topless, Recreates Iconic Playboy Cover

Elle Macpherson is the latest to drive that point home. The 49-year-old poses topless on the August cover of Harper's Bazaar Australia, wearing only a pair of thigh-high black stockings and a few bracelets.

Next to the blond bombshell read the words: "Fabulous at Every Age." Indeed, Elle is just that. Especially considering the naked image is a near replica of her iconic Playboy cover from two decades prior.

While she may look ageless, the Australia beauty's upcoming birthday is, in fact, the big 5-0. Yet she says she's feels ready for the major milestone:

"No one tells you this, but I've recognized it as I've grown older and wiser: wellness, beauty, strength, good moods and stability require constant maintenance and constant tweaking," she shares inside the issue. "You have to constantly listen to your body. You can't sit there thinking, ‘All this used to work.' You're new and fresh and different every day. Resist it and it becomes really tedious. Embrace it and it's a constant renewing process—holistic, a total intelligence. It's about being present in your life."
